If you’re new to my blog, I can tell you that batiks are new to me. I have several batik fabrics that a friend from Africa sent me, and I’m familiar with the process, but I’ve not had much sewing experience with them. When Tammy invited me to be a part of this blog tour and her Quilt Market booth, I really thought long and hard about what Izzy & Ivy pattern would show off the vibe of this beachy line of fabrics. Brooklyn’s Boho Dress came to mind, and I knew I had the perfect pattern!

Normally I sew a Brooklyn’s Boho with several coordinating fabrics, but because the batik has a pretty busy print, I really wanted to show it off by using the same fabric throughout. I’m so glad I did! I love the variations of color that you can see and it really makes for a fluid line from one section of the dress to another.

I love that this fabric has a coastal feel to it, but it’s not so much that you have to keep it contained to the summer months. This dress happened to pair great with boots and a jean jacket, which were both needed on this crisp night in October when I took these pictures!

We have Brooklyn’s Boho Dress available in both PDF and Paper, and it’s a very quick sew with lots of style!

Thanks to Tammy and Island Batiks for the invite to be a part of this tour! And thank YOU for stopping by! Be sure to enter to win some fabulousness through the Rafflecopter Widget below!

what an adorable dress. But I have to say your lovely model just steals the show. 🙂 This dress brings back a lot memories. My mom used to make my sister and I a lot of summer dresses like this for years.

Both the dress and the model are darling! I wish I had a little girl to sew for. I’ve fallen in love with batiks lately, especially Island Batiks. Such beautiful colors and prints.
